The Larks awake the drowzy morn, My dearest lovely @3Chloe@1 rise, And with thy dazling Rays adorn, The ample World and Azure Skies: Each Eye of thine out-shines the Sun, Tho' deck'd in all his Light; As much as he excells the Moon, Or each small twinkling Star at Noon, Or Meteor of the Night. Look down and see your Beauty's power, See, see the Heart in which you reign; No Conquer'd Slave in Triumph bore, Did ever wear so strong a Chain: Feed me with Smiles that I may Live, I'll ne'er wish to be free; Nor ever hope for kind Reprieve, Or Loves grateful bondage leave, For Immortality. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOWER'S SONG by ANDREW MARVELL THE BURNING BABE by ROBERT SOUTHWELL LESBIA'S COMPLAINT AGAINST THYRISIS HIS INCONSTANCY; A SONNET by PHILIP AYRES SHE WOULD NOT KNOW ME by THOMAS HAYNES BAYLY THE CLOWN by MARGARET E.
